Medical technology is a fast growing field. This new title gives a comprehensive review of modern optical technologies alongside their clinical deployment. It bridges the technology and clinical domains and will be suitable in both technical and clinical environments. It introduces and develops basic physical methods (in optics, photonics, and...

Much more than a slight revision, this second edition of the successful "Handbook of Liquid Crystals" is completely restructured and streamlined, with updated as well as completely new topics, 100% more content and a new team of editors and authors. As such, it fills the gap for a definitive, single source reference for all those working in the...

This year, practical application notes for the verification formats and optimal design procedures for Part 1-8 "Joints" are included in addition to the revision of Part 1-1 "General Design Rules". With the introduction of the Eurocodes, there are also design changes for aluminium structures. Since there is no comparable European code, DIN 18807...

The authors explain the changes in the thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of polymer composites under elevated temperatures and fire conditions. Using microscale physical and chemical concepts they allow researchers to find reliable solutions to their engineering needs on the macroscale. In a unique combination of experimental results...

This book is a must-have for newcomers and established researchers in this interdisciplinary field that connects scientists from chemistry, material science, biology, medicine and electrical engineering. The renowned editor has chosen contributions that cover a wide range of examples and issues in implantable bioelectronics. Different implants are...

Edited by three pioneers in the field, each with longstanding experience in the biotech industry, this is the first book to cover every step in the development and production of Fc-fusion proteins -- from choosing the right design on a molecular level to batch optimization during production to quality control. The whole of the second part is...
